The key Bible verse in the Mother's Day lesson for preschoolers is Ephesians 6:1. Other scriptures used in the lesson include: Proverbs 13:13-17; Proverbs 23:24, Proverbs 1:8-9; select verses from Proverbs 31.Verses used as refence include Psalm 127:3. The key concepts for the lesson are: You can bring your mom joy by doing what she says; Moms are to be praised; and The Bible tells us to honor our fathers and mothers. ("Honor" is explained in Circle Talk Time). The lesson ties the key concepts together in a way that's easy for young children to understand. A fun rhyme, based on Proverbs 31, is included in the lesson with ideas for group activity that children can participate in during the rhyme. Children get to participate again during Circle Talk time as the class discusses what it means to honor your mother. The lesson text gives you extra ideas to share with your class.

There are three Mother's Day activities to help reinforce Mother's Day lesson concepts. Also included in the Mother's Day theme are three Mother's Day craft pages to make animal Mother's Day cards (The same crafts also come in color); two "flower stickers" craft pages created from real flower photographs to make beautifull Mother's Day cards, and a craft pattern to make Twirl Flowers Mother's Day decorations. There are 4 color-illustrated story pictures to use as eye-catching visual aids or Mother's Day bulletin board decorations for your classroom. There are even more Mother's Day crafts for kids, Mother's Day coloring pages, and mini Mother's Day posters in the Fun Pack that comes with the lesson (See thumbnails below).
